OK, I can now write to the Samba share from the desktop too. I haven't touched the config since the last attempt when it didn't work. What the hell?

Hah, I had the opposite problem with Vista at first: 64-bit clients worked just peachy, but 32-bit wouldn't at all. I don't remember what caused that to go away now.

Congrats on getting the ruttin' thing cooperating, though.

Yes, though the fact that I don't know what finally caused it to work is a little vexing.

Here's the current /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
Code: Select all
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = dimension
security = share

[share1]
path = /usr/networkshare/share1
writeable = yes
guest ok = yets
guest account = ftp
guest only = yes


I notice an error in there: guest ok = yets

samba is prolly wondering what the hell is yets.

I'll fix that and hopefully it will keep working!

Here is the output of testparm (after fixing the spelling error)

Code: Select all
$ testparm
Load smb config files from /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
Processing section "[share1]"
Global parameter guest account found in service section!
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions

[global]
        security = SHARE

[share1]
        path = /usr/networkshare/share1
        read only = No
        guest only = Yes
        guest ok = Yes

just an update: samba sharing at home is going great! FWIW I think using "guest account = ftp" works well along with all the guest permissions I tossed in the conf file. Yay, fun!
